I have an A2000HD w/ 1 meg, 40 meg hd. I seem to have lost some files somehow. I think it may have been caused by the program PalBoot. I've used Pal Boot and I've never had a problem, but when I ran it the other night it hung the system. So I rebooted, and everything was normal. I didn't use PalBoot again. Then next I cold booted the machine, it stopped in my startup-sequence. It could not find the directory it was looking for to put in the path. hmmm.... So I removed that particular path from the startup-sequence. Tried again. This time the startup couldn't find sys:prefs. Oh no. I looked at dh0: and sure enough, prefs dir was gone. So I copied it back on to dh0: from a workbench disk. Finally, the startup-sequence could be completed. I tried to run a demo of Synthia II and it would either say that the audio port was busy or it could not get the serial port. I tried Dynamic Drums and it gurued once, but then ran ok. What's up with this? I could only get the Synthia II demo to run by booting with another workbench (1.3, like the one on my HD). I'm puzzled. I couldn't find anymore files missing from dh0:, and I can't imagine how they got deleted in the first place. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it. Shayne White (whites@unvax.union.edu)

DISKSALV from dh0: to Ram: and have a second shell to delete the stuff from ram that you don't want to keep as DISKSALV produces it. i have an article about how i did this and if i can upload it to amiga central, it will appear in the next issue of Workbench. of course, this may do you no good, depending on where you live. :-) #### # # # # VsyeRossiiskaya Chrezvyychayynaya # # # # # # Comissiya po Borbye s #### #### ### Kontr'revolutsei, Sabotazhem y # # # # # Spekulyatsiyei #### # # # nikolai O:-) (Melbourne)
